This is a 5-card pack featuring images of the amazingly talented artists & culture bearers who make New Orleans what it is. Each card was printed on high-quality, archival paper, size A2, blank greeting cards, and arranged in a 5-card pack with matching white envelopes.
⠀
Each of these images was illustrated, designed & packaged by Sassy Banana Design Co. (NOLA-born + raised artist Anna Wilson Schnitzler) as a commission & collaborative project with Feed the Second Line (a project of Krewe of Red Beans). All of the cards were printed, scored & cut in New Orleans at Paper Machine. They did an amazing job! ⠀
⠀
Each 5-card pack features one of each card design, with this information on the back of each card:⠀
- Queen Tahj Williams of the Golden Eagles, based on photo by Lanitrah Hasan
- Cinnamon Black of the Mandingo Warriors, based on photo by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee
- Big Chief Pie of the Monogram Hunters, based on photo by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee
- The Black Men of Labor, based on photo by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee
- Red Beans Parade, based on photo by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee
100% of all sales will go directly to Feed the Second Line and into the community. These funds will be used to buy food for our elders & employ out-of-work artists, musicians & culture bearers to shop for them / make deliveries — all while supporting local groceries, restaurants & farmers’ markets. It’s a win-win-win! ⠀
